"Hermes calls the human being a second God. For just as God is the creator of real entities and natural forms, so the human is creator of conceptual entities and artifical forms. Rational entities do not exist unless they are likenesses of the human intellect just as the creatures of God are likenesses of the divine intellect. Humanity has intellect, which, in its creative power, is the likeness of divine intellect."
Nicholas of Cusa, De Beryllo 7
